I have had numerous requests
about using the information in this site and linking to this site. I maintain
this site as a free educational resource, but I do retain copyright over all
material on this site. I request that you follow these rules when linking to
this site or using material from this site:

For educational non-profit purposes
and for the personal non-profit use of individual numismatists, permission
is granted to link to this site. Please link only to the main page (http://www.shieldnickels.net/1883_2/1883_2.html)
- not to subsidiary pages.

Copying any of the material
on this web site to another web site is prohibited.

Permission is granted for individual
numismatists to make printed copies of the material on this site for their
own private use (such as taking to coin shows as a reference) - but such
printed copies may not be redistributed.

Permission for redistribution
in print form for any purpose (non-profit or for-profit) must be obtained
prior to printing.

Unauthorized, for-profit linking
or redistribution of any kind is prohibited. NO permission is granted for
commercial use, without requested and authorized approval. PLEASE
DO NOT USE CONTENT OR LINK TO THIS WEB SITE FROM ANY INTERNET AUCTION WITHOUT
FIRST OBTAINING PERMISSION.

If you link to this site
under a permitted or authorized use, please do me the courtesy of providing
me with credit by name. It's not much typing and I will really appreciate
it.

I'm sorry that the above
seems to have become necessary. Since this site represents years of study on
my part, is a lot of work to maintain, and I don't make any money from it (in
fact, it costs me money to host it), I get a little peeved if other people try
to exploit it for profit. But I will work with those of you who want to link
to this web site from commercial settings (including auctions) provided that
in my judgment the link is primarily educational rather than commercial.
